More Insights

Built in 1983 (42 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1983, has undergone significant and modern cosmetic renovations, making it truly move-in ready. The kitchen features custom Shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and modern stainless steel appliances (though a Samsung refrigerator is visible, not Kitchen Aid as stated for all appliances). Both bathrooms are nicely updated with contemporary vanities, modern tiling, and glass-enclosed showers. Porcelain tile flooring extends throughout the home, and recessed lighting adds to the modern aesthetic. While the cosmetic updates are excellent and appear recent, the underlying infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) is still 41 years old, which, despite being functional, may lead to future maintenance concerns. This prevents an 'Excellent' rating, but the extensive and high-quality updates firmly place it in the 'Good' category.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Community Amenities: Located within The Lakes Country Club, offering a robust schedule of social and fitness activities, an exquisite Clubhouse, Health and Wellness Center, Tennis, Pickleball, Bocce, 44 community pools/spas, and options for a 27-hole championship golf course.
Stunning Views: The property boasts captivating views of the lush golf course, a striking water feature, and peek-a-boo mountains, enhancing its appeal and providing a serene backdrop.
Move-in Ready & Modern Updates: Described as 'truly move in ready' with refined, contemporary finishes, including custom Shaker cabinets, Kitchen Aid appliances, granite countertops in the kitchen, and nicely updated bathrooms, minimizing immediate buyer expenses.
Motivated Sellers & Price Reduction: A recent price reduction and the sellers' motivation ('SELLERS FOUND SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUY!') indicate a strong incentive for a quick sale, potentially offering a favorable negotiation opportunity.
Spacious Interior Feel: Vaulted ceilings, an open floorplan, and porcelain tile throughout contribute to a spacious and airy feel, creating a welcoming and comfortable living environment.

Cons

Very High Association Fees: The reported association fee of $1800.0 (presumably monthly) is exceptionally high, which could significantly impact the overall affordability and appeal to a broad range of buyers.
Age of Property: Built in 1983, the property is over 40 years old. While cosmetically updated, older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems) may lead to unforeseen maintenance or replacement costs in the future.
Condominium Living & Size: As a condominium, the property comes with inherent limitations such as shared walls, potential for special assessments, and reliance on HOA management. At 1,368 sq ft, it may be considered smaller for a luxury desert retreat, and the lot size is minimal.
